In this episode of Spirit School, I’m answering a beautiful question from listener Jackie, who asked how I sustain my energy as a medium -especially as a working mom starting her own animal communication business.

I share the real behind-the-scenes of what it’s looked like to serve Spirit for 12+ years while raising a family, navigating burnout, recovering from an audit, and building a business rooted in ethics and capacity - not just hustle.

You’ll hear me reflect on:

The difference between what I can do and what I should do

My energetic boundaries and why I rarely book more than 4–6 readings a week

How I use my calendar as a psychic tool to know when I should and shouldn’t work

The role of compassion fatigue and spiritual integrity in my decisions

How I’ve diversified my work beyond readings to honour my own sustainability

If you’ve ever asked yourself “How much can I really hold?”—this one’s for you.

After a healing break following surgery, I'm back at the mic sharing a heartfelt Spirit Message inspired by a listener's question: How did you get started in your work as a medium? In this episode, I walk you through my earliest days of development, the unexpected (and terrifying) moment I said yes to doing paid readings, and the powerful lessons Spirit has shared with me along the way.

We explore what it means to answer the call of your own spirit—even when you're not sure you're ready. And we look at the quiet courage it takes to say “yes” to opportunities that stretch and grow us.

This is a real talk episode, recorded in the sunshine with my dog Luna nearby, and I’m sharing it raw and unedited—just like life. I hope it brings light to your path and reminds you that the next time inspiration whispers... you get to say yes.

In This Episode, I Share:

My journey from spiritual development to serving as a professional medium

The surprising moment I stepped into public service (for $20!)

How personal growth is deeply tied to spiritual connection

A humbling failure that taught me to teach through storytelling

Why we often fear being witnessed in our failures

A Spirit Message about saying yes to yourself and your callings

Welcome back to Spirit School! This week's spirit messages come at a powerful time, aligning with the energy of the Spring Equinox. These messages are timeless, so whenever you find this episode, trust that there is something here for you.

I open with a grounding practice to help you center yourself before receiving the messages. Spirit brings forward the energy of children laughing on a playground, inviting us to reconnect with the joy and lightness of being. There is a call to embrace childlike wonder, play, and wholeness, even in times of great change.

I also share about the power of storytelling as a way to honor our ancestors, preserve our history, and bring healing. Spirit reminds us that even if we don’t see ourselves as part of a great legacy, every story we share carries impact. I reflect on my personal connection to York Factory, my journey of learning Swampy Cree, and the importance of speaking names to keep them alive.

Spirit brings a message about looking up—literally and figuratively. When we feel burdened by life, we may stop noticing the signs all around us. This is a reminder to stand tall, raise our gaze, and reconnect with the wisdom of the natural world.

Take a deep breath, integrate what resonates, and release what does not. May your week ahead be filled with synchronicity, spiritual connection, and light.
